CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SAF Value Fund LLC has acquired a minority stake in Cash America, Inc.
(“Cash America” or the “Company”) common stock. SAF’s Managing Member
(“SAF”) has initiated contact with Company management and seeks a
collaborative dialogue in pursuing a dual mandate of corporate
restructuring and optimization of the Company’s capital allocation
strategy.

SAF believes that the Board of Director’s fiduciary duty should compel
it to initiate the divestiture of the Company’s e-commerce subsidiary
while implementing a new capital allocation methodology, including a
material increase in share repurchases. SAF believes its views are
congruent with the feelings of many Cash America shareholders, who seek
to not only maximize shareholder value, but also to mitigate potential
regulatory exposure stemming from the Company’s short-term
single-payment lending activities.

SAF’s analysis indicates that Cash America’s common equity is
significantly undervalued and that the implementation of SAF’s proposals
would unlock the currently hidden value of the Company’s e-commerce
subsidiary, allow the market to more accurately appraise the worth of
the Company’s retail operation and also increase the Company’s returns
on invested capital.
